I have been using a HP LaserJet CM1015 MFP on my '07 Dell inspiron 1520
with Windows Vista Home Premium addition since August '07 with
absolutely no problems.
A few weeks ago, strange things started to happen. First, I received a
message about the computer not being able to find the printer. The
printer was no longer listed as my default printer for no apparent
reason. I fixed this.
The next problem occurred several days later when I plugged in the USB
cable. The computer started searching for drivers. This had never
happened before. I got the computer to stop doing that and the printer
would still print.
Then when I went to scan something, I recieved an error message saying
that the computer and scanner could not find each other/communicate with
each other.
I decided that it might be best to unistall and then reinstall the
printer with all of these strange messages. Oddly, when I went to
unistall the printer it seems that some of the software was gone (when I
hit custom unistall--nothing was there to choose from). I then went
through Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled everything related to the
printer.
When I put the installation CD in nothing happened. I then went into
the folders and started the installation. Only a few moments into the
installation, an error message appears. It says that only an
administrator can install the software, but I am listed as the
administrator for the computer.
Please help! I am a teacher and I use this printer everyday!! Thank
you!
